On Monday’s "Lou Dobbs Tonight," host Lou Dobbs took aim at Katie Couric and Bill Moyers for "silly public statements" they’ve made regarding the practice of wearing an American flag lapel pin. "CBS's Katie Couric, of all people, taking exception to an American journalist saying 'we,' when referring to the United States.... I'm sorry, Katie Couric, but who could possibly be offended by acknowledging those troops who have sacrificed so much for us and ours?... PBS's Bill Moyers says the flag's been hijacked and turned into a logo, the trademark of a monopoly on patriotism. Oh, please, Bill Moyers, you're too smart for this kind of babble."

No chance, unfortunately.
Moyers carrying water for the media matters, moveon.... types.
Merle Haggard for President.
These types of comments from people in their position just eggs on others who think flying another country’s flag above our own is ok.
Bill Moyers, smart?
Excellent words.
What and give up her anchor chair and over the top ratings?
‘when yer talkin down my county, hoss, yer walkin on the fightin’ side of me...’
that’s better...
..."it was back before [Cronkite] lied to us all on TV."
Couric and Moyers “an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as ‘intellectuals.”
Just moonbats with a commie slant.
one can depend on the democrats and their supporters to be the revolutionaries that they are; always fighting, always pushing for “change”, always denigrating the u.s., always supporting international movements of liberation. (they are tiring, sickening, obnoxious, hateful and above all, dangerous.)
Sorry, Lou. I gotta disagree with you. Bill Moyers is like the rest of that Lyndon Johnson inner circle: a bunch of eggheads whose reputations far outpaced their abilities. His soft-pedaled, avuncular style may make him seem a sage, but Yoda he ain't.
Well said. Thank you.
“Oh, please, Bill Moyers, you’re too smart for this kind of babble.”
No.... Apparently not. In fact, maybe this was his “smartest moment.”
“...PBS’s Bill Moyers says the flag’s been hijacked and turned into a logo,...”
Sort of like when Hitler adopted the Swastika for the Nazi Party. It is a form of cross. It was around for hundreds of years before Hitler “hijacked” it for his own evil needs. You can’t look at that cross and not think of the Nazis. Same way with the Confedrate flag. Katie and Bill must be trying to equate the Flag of the US with the Nazi cross and the Confederate flag.
I, OTOH, am proud of the Flag of the US. It is the most beautiful flag in the world. Far too many have suffered and died defending it. Katie, Bill, and all the others that denegrate it can all go straight to he!!.
“Burnin’s too good for ‘em, hangin’s too good for ‘em, they should be torn into itsy-bitsy pieces, and BURIED ALIVE”!
My sentiments exactly, just can’t remember the movie its from.
Good on you, Lou!
“i am proud of the flag of the u.s.”
it is the most beautiful symbol of freedom in the entire world.
